You’ve spent hours hunting down the perfect candidates, but all that work could be wasted if your outreach messaging is off-putting. When the average person receives 121 emails per-day, the competition for attention is fierce, which is why getting the initial outreach absolutely perfect is critical if you’re going to meet your recruiting goals.

It’s no surprise then that folks are always asking hiring managers about their interview techniques and questions in order to gain an upper hand. Instead of following that path, we're flipping the script and asking YOU for your favorite (and least favorite!) interview questions.

Every day humans collectively create the equivalent of 530,000,000 million digital songs or 250,000 Libraries of Congress worth of data. Data is quite literally everywhere. Every click, email, push notification, blog post, and Instagram upload is data. And that data is incredibly valuable.
If our 2019 Guide To Recruiting & HR Events is any indication, at Entelo we get really excited about any opportunity to step outside the normal 9-5 and learn from industry leaders and peers. As an avid reader of the Entelo blog, we’re sure that you do too. Well, get your notebook and your reading-glasses-you-don’t-really-need-but-make-you-look-smart ready, because May is lining up to be a great one for professional development.
